Don't forget the animals.

Pets are family, and plenty of people won't evacuate without them — so plan for them like you plan for anyone else. This sizes food, water and supplies for every animal in the house over the number of days you want covered, and hands you the checklist that keeps them fed, calm and identifiable if you have to move.

Notes

A microchip and a current photo are what reunite you if a pet bolts in the chaos — collars come off. Keep vaccination records (many shelters and boarders require proof), a recent photo of you with the pet to prove ownership, and any meds in the go-bag. Cats and small dogs travel in a carrier they've seen before; a panicked animal is hard to load. Rotate their food like your own, and never assume you'll find pet food on a shelf in an emergency — you won't.
